The Sports Illustrated Curse?

·1 min

One thing about the Sox pitching in the World Series is that it became an “anything you can do I can do better” rotation, which was killer. Schilling goes 6 innings with 1 unearned run and the Sox let in 2 runs? Fine, Pedro will go 7 shutout innings with 0 runs and the Sox will let in 1. Really? Then Lowe’s going to pitch 7 shutout and the Sox will shut the Cards out. Pujols, Rolen, and Edmonds were anemic throughout. Wait a minute… does this mean the end of the famed Sports Illustrated curse in favour of a new ESPN: The Magazine curse (the trio appeared on the cover of the Sep 27 issue - sadly, can’t find a pic yet)?

Hell no! No such thing as curses!
